The return of Sioux City made Commander Zeng nervous for a long time.

However, when the negotiations resumed the next day, Sioux City did not show up. While the head of the regiment was relaxed, he no longer insisted on the original asking price of 30 million, and said: "28 million is the final offer, and today is also the last day we will stay in Japan." ”

Sakaguchi Hiromatsu had long known the news of Su Cheng's return, and when he saw that the head of the regiment had taken the initiative to retreat, he also knew the reason, so he pushed it and finally determined the price of 28 million.

The two sides quickly signed a letter of intent for investment, and the head of the regiment returned to the hotel proudly, ordered a half-day holiday, and then went home.

The members of the negotiation team, who had been busy for several days, cheered and all ran away, but the cadres who received benefits were not in a hurry. They had been playing for a week, and they were tired of playing.

Wei Kong pretended to be the investigator of Chapter 145 (4000 words), changed an elevator and went back to the room, wanting to inform.

Unexpectedly, Su Cheng, who had just slept well, sat on the bed and played games, and played extremely seriously, swaying left and right.

Wei Kong said angrily: "Why aren't you in a hurry?

"He can't sell it. Su Cheng shook the handle and continued to play his FC, saying: "This letter of intent is handed in, and the scolding is light, and the evidence is conclusive." ”

"Are you sure?"

"Definitely. ”

Wei Kong relaxed a little, sat down side by side with Su Cheng, but said: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, the reason he put forward is also correct, half of the patent is sold to the Japanese, and we will immediately get 28 million US dollars, and then use the money to bid." Isn't it nine out of ten?"

"I can't get it. Su Cheng didn't move for a moment, and said: "First of all, $28 million is not paid off at once, and it would be good if the down payment could give us 30%." Not even $9 million. Even this money can be delayed and left unpaid, and then said when the bid is successful. Secondly, they used so much money to buy our patents, and they will be even more ruthless when bidding, if they lose the bid because of this, won't they pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon?"

"Even if there is no Japan, the researcher in Chapter 145 (4000 words) will have Anglo-American, French-German. What's the difference?"

"The difference is that we sell half of the patent ownership to the Japanese, and even if we win the bid, they can share the profits. Sioux City pouted. "When the time comes, it won't be $28 million." ”

Wei Kong was startled, then nodded slowly and sighed, "Head Zeng is finished." ”

"This time, he didn't just make a mistake in judgment. And it's a mistake of judgment that insists on going its own way. ”

Wei Kong was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The officialdom is dangerous." ”

"It's not the same in shopping malls. Sioux City suddenly felt a little emotional, since he heard about the oil fields in the UAE, he has not had an easy time. Sioux City thought to himself: if it succeeds this time. We may sublimate it, but if it fails. I guess I'll be sent to hell too. Even Liu Bing has to take risks, and Lin Yonggui is still thinking about it. It's probably also about the fear of the risks.

Sioux City subconsciously played the game, and his thoughts were already drifting away. When he came to the 80s, the people who really could be called Austrian aid in the DPRK were Liu Bing first, and Lin Yonggui second. Now, the latter may have a closer relationship with him, but this is the only background he has, and once he loses it, it is estimated that it will be difficult to do things in China.

In this way, Su Cheng thought again: Director Ding Zhipeng of the Structural Reform Commission can also speak. However, the more the favor is used, the weaker it becomes...... Is it a critical moment?

In an instant, he shook his head secretly: It's still far from the critical moment. PetroChina agreed to his plan, which was the first step, and then it had to go to the United Arab Emirates to tackle key problems.

International bidding is never about bidding price. A Middle Eastern oil field like this would be strange if there were no countless conditions attached to it.

Even foreign oil companies need to do a lot of political lobbying in order to meet the demands of oil-producing countries. Although there is no lobbying in China, it is actually about the same.

Ding Zhipeng is the only central acquaintance in Sioux City, and at this point, Liu Bing, who is of higher rank, cannot help.

It is also questionable how much political investment the oil company is willing to make after it intervenes......

Wei Kong watched Su Cheng's expression change, and said with concern: "Since the matter here is solved by Head Zeng, let's go back to China to listen to the news." What are you playing? It's kind of interesting. ”

"Tank Wars, a classic game on FC. Sioux handed Wei Kong a controller and restarted the game.

“fc？”

"It's this console. On the left is up, down, left and right, and on the right is the cannon. Su Cheng told him about it, and the two quickly got into a fight.

What oil wells and oil fields, let's wait until we go back.

Wei Kong quickly became hooked on game consoles and had a lot of fun.

Dinner was also delivered from the restaurant. After staying for so long, Sioux City enjoyed room service for the first time, but it was because the instant noodle cooking expert was busy with games.

The next morning, everyone came on board with the big bags and small bags they had bought.

These people, including Wei Kong, all have the entrustment of the seven aunts and eight aunts, and they have the responsibility to help buy items. According to the regulations, people who go abroad are eligible to buy a large item, a small piece of duty-free products, and a large number of tax-free products.

However, those who can afford to go abroad to buy imported goods are not short of that little tax, such as Wei Kongzhi and others, can get cheap foreign exchange, and this alone is enough for them to purchase goods as much as possible.

Sioux City also bought several small appliances, such as the Disan and Walkman, which are portable CD players and portable tape drives. The former was listened to by himself, and the latter was used to give away.

As soon as the plane took off, Sioux City pulled out a CD player. This is a new D88 that was only released in April, and if you don't include the battery, it is only about 300 grams, which is the lightest CD Walkman ever made, and it has already taken the prototype of later generations.

It is also available in the United States and Europe, but the Chinese have never seen it.

Even the members of the delegation who go shopping all day are rarely asked about this machine, not to mention whether they know it and whether it is necessary, the price of the CD disc alone can make ordinary Chinese people know the difficulties and retreat. What's more, the preferred way to listen to the CD Walkman is headphones. This does not conform to the listening habits of the Chinese in the 80s.

Wei Kong was the most receptive person in the delegation, and when he saw Su Cheng take out two palm-sized disc players, he was also surprised and said, "This thing, isn't it cheap?"

"50,000 yen. Sioux replied softly.

Wei Kong gasped. Said: "Obediently, isn't that going to be more than 1,500 yuan? If you want 5,000 yuan for black market foreign exchange, just buy such a thing?"

"The disc pack is 2,000 yen, and 10 discs are discounted, 12,000 yen. Sioux City showed off a fanny pack-sized disc bag and 10 records inside, half of which were classical music and three were European and American. Two Japanese, there are not many choices in specialty stores.

Wei Kong reached out to touch Su Cheng's forehead and said, "I have a fever." What's the use of this, you can only listen to it alone. ”

"It's for audiophiles. I couldn't afford it before. You can take it outside and listen to it, just like now. In the future, I will have to wait for more and more time. Su Cheng laughed and said, "Look at the Japanese things, the more they make them, the smaller they get." Spend less resources and earn more money. The foreign exchange we earn from selling oil is not as much as that of a company. ”

"You want to make this machine?"

Su Cheng was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "China is prevalent. There is no future in being a Walkman. Unless the problem is solved, only industries with high investment and high returns are China's sunrise industries. In the end, the technology developed in order to save money has to be discounted by the cost of the technology. ”

"It's still in our infancy. After a while, when everyone has money and can afford to eat, there will naturally be no more. Weikong's explanation is the theory that was in vogue at this time.

Su Cheng laughed and put on his headphones.

In this way, the 5-hour air journey will not break your head.

At 2:30 p.m., the plane landed at the capital airport.

The head of the regiment Zeng said a fake empty talk, and announced the disbandment of the group, and he rushed to the head office with a bag of documents and a spring breeze. As far as his level is concerned, being able to negotiate $28 million in foreign exchange is almost unimaginable, and he doesn't care at all about what he sells or whose stuff it is. Subconsciously, he still regards the 70% beneficiary rights held by the oil company as the ownership of 7%. As for Sioux City's opposition, he only regarded it as a competition for his political achievements.

This is one percent of China's foreign exchange earnings, equivalent to the sales of 1.4 million barrels of crude oil, the profit of four or five million barrels of crude oil, and the sale of civilian technology is equivalent to creating $28 million in foreign exchange out of nothing.

However, the thought of giving more than 30% to Sioux City is nearly 9 million yuan. Captain Zeng said "shit luck" again.

When he arrived outside the general manager's office, Head Zeng still had a smile on his face.

"I was able to go in. The general manager's secretary smiled at Head Zeng.

Captain Zeng followed behind him with gratitude.

The two of them first passed through the secretary's room, and then the work suite, and the secretary knocked lightly on the door before letting the head of Zeng in.

As far as the eye can see, first of all, the area is more than 60 square meters, and there is a step between the desk and the living room, and there are two small green trees below, which is very stylish. On the other side are the doors of the bathroom and the lounge, and it is estimated that the area will not be small.

"General Manager. Commander Zeng shouted from afar. I thought to myself: Wait until next year, let's go to the next level, and get a magnificent office, and buy Japanese bathroom fixtures.

"Lao Zeng is here. The general manager raised his head, looked at the documents he was carrying, and said with a smile: "How do you feel about going to Japan?"

"Clean and developed, technologically advanced, and well-capitalized. Lao Zeng sighed, hurriedly handed over the document, and said: "This time, we paid a great price in order to obtain Japanese technology, but the final result is very good......"

"What technology?"

"Japan's Shallow Sea Petroleum Technology ......"

His words were interrupted by the general manager for the second time: "The Japanese are still buying technology from us, haven't the negotiations on the agreement been stopped?"

"We had already talked about the results at that time...... "In fact, the head of the regiment Zeng was reluctant to make political achievements.

"Haven't signed it yet, have you? This time, there are other ...... for shallow offshore oil technology from above," the general manager stopped talking this time. looked over suspiciously and said, "Lao Zeng, you won't be so confused." ”

"I ......" Captain Zeng was speechless, his eyes looked at the document directly, as if he wanted to hook it back.

However, the general manager has already turned it on.

The agreement and the three big characters "Zeng Wenguo" in it do not need to be explained at all.

"You go back first. The general manager's tone became extremely flat.

"This ...... What we can not fulfill is not a formal contract. Lao Zeng said in horror.

"Of course we're not going to sign a formal contract. The general manager glared at him unhappily and said, "I will personally explain to the chairman why the agreement of intent that has just been negotiated is about to be refused to be performed, because the chairman must know the details before he can explain it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Japanese diplomats!"

Lao Zeng's lips opened twice, but he couldn't say anything.

He is a department-level cadre, and he is 108,000 miles away from the chairman. If the chairman is asked to apologize to foreigners because of this, it is really a dead end.

In the indifferent gaze of the general manager, the boss seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and said in a low voice: "We can say that it is Sioux City that refuses to sell, in this case, we have no way to fulfill the contract." ”

"This is a diplomatic incident! You don't have to worry about how to deal with it. The general manager waved Zeng Wenguo out like a fly.

Zeng Wenguo returned to the office in despair.

If the general manager scolds him, he will probably feel better...... Not only will it feel better, but it will also feel safer.

But nothing.

Zeng Wenguo sat in the room, his heart tightened.

I don't know how long later, the phone suddenly "jingle bell" rang.

Lao Zeng shuddered, jumped up, picked up the phone, and only held out a "hey" in his throat.

"Lao Zeng?" The voice on the phone was like a spring breeze, and he said with a smile: "I have worked hard since I came back from Japan, and it is very useful for us to analyze our opponents as soon as possible." ”

"Okay. I understand. Listening to the chairman's mellow voice, Lao Zeng felt very relaxed, and the tension of the laryngeal muscles was also contacted, but his brain was still dull, and he couldn't hear the meaning of those words.

The person on the other side of the phone didn't pause, and said with a smile: "In the past few days, you can concentrate on writing the report, and don't worry about other things." When Japan's report comes out, we will send you to other countries to take a look at it, and you will have to write a report when you come back. ”

Lao Zeng finally heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Then ...... on my side"

"It's okay, in terms of business, let Lao Qian be responsible first, and you can concentrate on research and do a good job as a researcher. ”

"Chairman, I...... How can I ......"

"The Japanese side is very unhappy, which shows that your way of working is not correct, you are also 50 years old, and doing research work is also contributing to the country. The phone hung up with a snap.

Lao Zeng stood there for a moment, then suddenly dropped the microphone, picked up a chair and smashed the phone.

"Knock"

"Knock"

"Knock"

He desperately smashed the phone with a chair, and kept smashing until he was exhausted, sat on the ground silently, and smirked and said to himself: Researcher, haha, department-level researcher......!

Investigator means losing all power, which is equivalent to a high-level ordinary clerk, except for the salary of the main department, all the things in the officialdom are gradually distancing themselves from him.

Zeng Wenguo's secretary opened a crack in the door, looked at it quietly, closed the door quietly, and sat on the chair in a daze.

The boss lost power, and it was the secretary's bad luck.

At the same time, Sioux City also received a call from the Victory oil field.

Lin Yonggui said in an indomitable tone: "The Party Committee of Shengli Oilfield has decided to fully support the bid for the UAE Oilfield!!!"
